B Correct answer
Explanation

Let Chandan's normal efficiency be 1 unit/day. Then Anju's normal efficiency is 2 units/day, and Ankit's normal efficiency is 4 units/day. Ankit at 16x efficiency works at 64 units/day and completes the job in 12 days, so total work = 64 x 12 = 768 units. Anju at 32x efficiency = 64 units/day. Chandan at 64x efficiency = 64 units/day. Together they work at 128 units/day. Time = 768 / 128 = 6 days.
